Description: This Masterfully Crafted story collection by the author of the internationally best-selling novel Mister Sandman (Steerforth) is a haunting book that is certain to both disturb and entertain. With a particular focus on obsession and the abnormal, We So Seldom Look On Love explores life at its quirky extremes, pushing past limits of convention into lives that are fantastic and heartbreakingly real. Whether writing about the shock of a woman who discovers she has married a transsexual or the bizarre predilections of a female necrophile, Gowdy convinces us with incisive detail, only to disarm us with black humor. "Gowdy invites herself, and us, into taboo territory where love and disgust mingle freely.... Gowdy writes about the macabre, but she writes like an angel" (Carol Shields in the Boston Globe).
